mini x, stealth 9 if she just looking just to cruise...x-13 if she has the need for speed
I know some of the lakes don't allow sit on top so sierra 10 is good for those waters

We will have a couple different seats and Navigator paddles discounted.

We will have discounted Tie downs and soft racks if you need a means to get them home.

If you have a PA14, then you could always tow her if you need to make faster progress. I like the Mini-X.. it's very light and easy to just bring along, and it's super easy to operate. It's not the quickest boat, but it's highly maneuverable and VERY stable. My 9-year old son picked up on it by himself, within 10 minutes. It doesn't track super straight or super-quick, but he can do circles around me in my big Oasis kayak if we're both just paddling. When he gets tired, I just carabiner his tow line to my rear handle to assist.

Josh,

They are the same kayak hull wise, just a difference in deck so that is all just personal preference between an Xfactor and a S-14.
